White Ibis
A white ibis, a rare visitor to Virginia, perches on a piling in the Nansemond River. This bird is a tropical water bird that inhabits marshes in the Gulf and South, from North Carolina to Florida. There have only been a few sightings in the Chesapeake Bay, according to The Sibley Guide to Birds. (Photo/Morgan Heim)
